C21 (2/2)

But right now, I do have something on my mind.

Therefore, he could only ask, ”Auntie, do you have a rooster here?”

As she spoke, she took a careful look at her booth.

The woman said matter-of-factly, ”Look at you, you're saying that the sky is flying and the earth is flying. The place is full of them.”

After saying that, I entered her city gate. She opened the freezer and pointed at the rows of items inside. ”Look, geese, roosters, hens, whatever you want. If you want it, I'll give you a discount.”

I was stunned and explained, ”I want a black-furred rooster. Do you have one here?”

The grandma seemed to have heard this for the first time. She rubbed her head and looked at me in bewilderment. I don't know about that. At that time, when the fur was being shed, I didn't notice if it was black or white fur. But isn't that the same? She laughed.

This time, the situation was a little awkward. The misunderstanding seemed to have become bigger.

At that moment, I explained, ”What I want is alive. Do you know where I can sell live chickens?”

When the grandma heard this, she suddenly said, ”Oh, you're going back to take care of it. I know, there's a small city at the end of this street. Go take a look.”

When I heard that, I let out a sigh of relief and immediately set off on my bike.

But when I got to the end of the street, after a long search, I couldn't find the so-called Little Gate City.

In a hurry, my forehead was covered in sweat.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. I had looked through almost every single one of them, yet I was still unable to find any clues.

But just as I was about to despair, I saw a little white man with a chicken coop in one hand and a black dog in the other walk out of a dark alley.

After I saw him, I couldn't help but go forward to stop him.

”Excuse me, did you get your black dog and rooster from here?” I asked, suppressing my surprise.

The man looked me up and down, then his face was as cold as a zombie's.

I really don't know if this person is a zombie that came out of the coffin or not, but it seems like I owe him five million.

”Yes.”

Then he turned and walked away.

After receiving an affirmative answer, I didn't place this cold fellow in my eyes and headed straight into the pitch black cave.

Just as I entered, a fishy stench immediately assaulted my nose. Forget about the stench, there was also a suffocating feeling in it that made my eyes start to tear up.

When I saw this, I couldn't help but cover my mouth and nose as I dashed in.

Inside, I turned a corner and saw a yard.

The yard was dirty with a layer of black grease on the floor. He was really worried that his shoes would be stained as he walked on it.

When I went in, I saw a man in an apron, bare-chested, by the well, retracting a large pot of chicken.

After seeing this, I heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that I had come to the right place this time.

”Boss.” I shouted.

Without raising his head, he said, ”What do you want?”

When he said that, I hastily said, ”Black rooster! No, no, no. It's a rooster with seven black feathers on its tail and a black dog.”

”Howl.”

When I finished speaking, the man slowly looked up. He had a cigarette in his mouth, and it had already burned down to the bottom of the cigarette. A long strip of ash followed his head and fell into the basin.

”What do you want? Black dog and black rooster? ” he asked.

I nodded. ”Yes.”

The man spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth and said, ”Come on, I don't have a dog or chicken.”

No more?

I was a little puzzled. ”That's not right. I saw someone buy it from you just now. How come it disappeared so quickly?” I was a little unconvinced. Could it be that he saw that I was a girl and didn't want to sell it to me?

But I'm dressed like this, and I'm quite a boy. Besides, I'm just selling chickens, there's no need to judge people by their appearances, right?

”Yeah, I sold it to that person. You want to buy it from him?” The man didn't even raise his head as he continued to pull the feathers.

I was a little unconvinced. I scanned through two large chicken cages at the side, but there were white roosters everywhere. However, there weren't any black roosters, making it seem like I had seen a ghost.

After all, the black dog was still okay and could be found in the village, but the black rooster wasn't. Even I rarely had such an item, so I had to buy these two items from the zombie like before.

As I burst out of the dark alley, I saw that he was no longer visible on the street.

This caused me to panic a little.

I immediately got on my bike and started to patrol the street very quickly.

After a full circle, I returned to the starting point. I was tired and my mouth was dry, but I still couldn't find any traces of that zombie's face.

Just when I was feeling a little depressed, someone slapped my shoulder heavily.
